Toyota Motor Thailand is now one of the leading automobile manufacturers in Thailand, with a registered capital of THB7.5 billion (US$2.3 billion), more than 5,000 staff, 88 dealerships, and 238 showrooms nationwide. It produces up to 240,000 vehicles a year. In April 2007, Toyota established a new division called Toyota Motor Asia Pacific Engineering and Manufacturing (TMAP-EM). The division is responsible for supporting procurement for all of Toyota’s manufacturing plants across the Asia-Pacific, with the aim of lowering operating costs.

The company will use the same deployment team and methodologies to roll out the system to other Toyota operations in the Asia-Pacific. “This was a major project for Toyota in this region,
